Hennessy
Expedition Classic
The Hammock - Tent

How about a combination of both concepts? The Hennessy expedition classic is perfect for backpacking, family camping, and expeditions where we require comfort and social distance at a reasonable price. $149.95
Sea to Summit

The brand has a complete range for different uses: body, conditioner, hand, laundry and shaving cream. €4,95

Selk’bag
Instinct Realtree Edge
The sleeping bag that dresses
Sleeping bags are designed to keep us very tight to keep us warm. The problem is that many of us would be willing to give up some of that heat to gain mobility, right? Well, that’s just the concept of the Selk’bag, a good option for both camping in nature, as a mountain refuge or even for travelling when it’s time to sleep at a friend’s house. In a camouflage version? Yes, for the more adventurous, the hotter version with more technical details. $149
